Indigeno was a young company serving high-profile clients and needed to balance nimbleness with the ability to deliver complex digital and experience programs.

My role was to establish operational systems, templates, and governance that could support client demands, team growth, and long-term sustainability.

By creating processes that worked in practice, not just on paper, I enabled the team to deliver consistently while laying the groundwork for sustainable growth.
